We all have a naughty side, especially when it comes to alcohol. Whether that’s getting a little tipsy at a summer festival or drinking too many tequila slammers at the races, us brits cannot resist! That being said, as the grown up brand that we are, we must say, please drink responsibly and make sure you take care of yourself and others while you do.
As with many of these occasions, getting alcohol into the establishment in question can be the biggest hurdle and not only that but the cost of alcohol in some places is rather expensive, especially if you are socialising every weekend.
We’ve all been there, you go out for a night out with the girls (or the lads) and 2 rounds in and a shot of tequila and that’s this month’s wages out the window. And that’s not the half of it, wedding season is here which means hen and stag doo’s are at the ready. These days, it’s not just a few drinks down the local but full weekends packed with activities and having a quite a few drinks here, there and everywhere throughout the day and it can get a little tough to keep up with the cost of it all. Wouldn’t you rather be spending that money on a nice gift for the occasion anyway instead of frittering it away on £10 cocktails?
That is why we’ve put together a little guide on smuggling all sorts of booze for all sorts of occasions as well as cost effective solutions for getting merry.
Whether it’s your own hair or a clip in bun, a huge festival updo with crazy curls and flowers is ideal for hiding miniature bottles of vodka or gin. Alternatively, if you can’t do it on top, put it inside a luscious bottle plait and let it all hang low. Coolest updo ever.
Unsuspecting items are probably the most deceptive and efficient way of hiding your Hendricks. Ice packs, sun cream bottles, anything you can clean and empty out will work. If you’re willing to make a permanent investment, you can even get hollow hairbrushes to fill to the brim! Goldie-vodka-locks.
If you’re happy to have a slightly larger silhouette, then the bags from wine boxes are perfect to mould to the shape of your, ahem…assets! This is perfect for red wine drinkers as the temperature of your body will keep your red in optimal drinking conditions.
We all know how much empty space we’re left with when we put wellies on, especially without thick socks. And you know what that means? Space to store a mini bottle or two per boot. Perfect for festival-goers who want to sneak a little something into their overpriced bar drinks!
Stand your ground and tell who ever asks that the triple vodka soda that you’re currently grasping on to is just ice-cold water or lemonade*. It’s a great way to drink as much as you want without it looking too obvious, just make sure you stick with the clear liquids.
*Don’t let anyone, sniff it, smell it or taste it otherwise your sneaky plan will be discovered.
If you’d rather smuggle with a little class, we suggest putting your poison in something a little more wholesome. Perhaps champagne injected strawberries? Or vodka injected oranges? Wine injected grapes? You can eat this ‘healthy’ looking desserts and no one will suspect a thing. Quite possibly the best fruit salad you’ve ever made.
Having the insight to smuggle in booze can work wonders for saving money, but those odd occasions where you do have to fork out, Vanilla Reindeer have you covered, we have range of boozey gifts on our website for you to explore, perfect for all occasions (wink wink)!
As well as that, we’ve equipped you with our knowledge of how to save money on alcohol filled events, and clever ways to hide your booze at festivals and relaxed gatherings, but if all else fails, and you’re caught in the act, you know what to do…
